Beyoncé Still Kicks Ass in a Zombie Apocalypse

Artist Ali Graham imagined what would happen if Beyoncé actually had a "burning flame" — and used it to roast zombies.

Graham got the idea to pair Beyoncé's suggestive lyrics with artwork of her kicking zombie butt when he was working on a similar Jay-Z-based project called "99 Problems." From there, he delved into her catalog, picking out song lyrics that he could reinterpret into an apocalyptic context.

The mashup of pop music and the living dead plays out surprisingly well. Her lyrics work perfectly in this new context and Graham's artwork stays true to Beyoncé's ferocity while also giving her a new role in the face of the unholy horde.

"I liked the idea that Beyoncé has been such a constant in pop culture for so long; she could deal with something as small as the zombie apocalypse," Graham told Mashable.

Judging by this artwork below, she seems to have no trouble with it whatsoever.

Check out the rest of Graham's Beyoncé artwork on his Tumblr and Twitter pages devoted to the project.
